An NCAA Fan Is…

[DainBramaged]

10 percent more likely to have visited a casino in the last year

17 percent more likely own three or more vehicles in their household

An avid fast food consumer, and is 34 percent more likely than the average adult to have visited a fast food chain 10 or more times in a week

33 percent more likely to have consumed any beer in the last month, with Bud Lite, Budweiser and Corona the leading brands in the light domestic, regular domestic and imported categories.

2. is....Me!

casino - nope
three or more vehicles - nope
avid fast food consumer - nope
consumed beer - yup....Young's Double Chocolate stout, Brooklyn Black chocolate Stout, Bell's Kalamazoo Stout. so half a yup.

[DainBramaged]

3. It stunned me as to how unhealthy these people seem to be

Fast food, and LOTS of it, yup, cheap beer, yup.

[NRaleighLiberal]

4. We love to cook, have a big garden, and if we drink, it is good stuff!

I guess to each their own...have to say, GO DUKE!

[Lex]

5. let's see

casino - no (never, actually)
three or more vehicles - just one (not an SUV)
fast food consumer - no (only when traveling, if then)

beer - 2 Guinness on St. Patty's Day. That's all the beer I've had in all of March, and maybe February too.

6. NCAA fans like bad beer.

Go figure.

[fishwax]

24. well, those are the top three selling brands in the U.S., so

it's no real surprise that they're the top three among NCAA fans ...

7. Two out of Four

Casino -- Yes
Three Vehicles -- Yes, 1 minivan; 1 SUV; 1 motorcycle; 1 ski boat; 1 sailboat; 2 kayaks
Fast Food -- No, Haven't been in one of those in over a year, probably twice in the last 5 years.
Beer -- No, I'm a red wine drinker.

[Bozita]

8. ... a perennial loser coming up #7 out of 70 entries in the brackets. If Louisville wins, ...

... it's mine, all mine.

14 of 16 in the 2nd round.

[givemebackmycountry]

9. Wrong -

No casino in a number of years.
One vehicle.
No fast food in a long time. (Chipotle? 6 months ago)
Beer yes.
Domestic swill? No.
Last beers were an "Arrogant Bastard Ale" and a "Double Wide IPA" from Boulevard Brewery in Kansas City.
Those would be hand crafted beers.

And by the way.

ROCK, CHALK, JAYHAWK baby KU!

(But I'd settle for Mizzou or Syracuse)

22. Lagunitas Maximus

Trust me.

[givemebackmycountry]

27. Will

I had to look that up.

7.5% alcohol by volume.

Yeah, you know your shit.

[WilliamPitt]

28. The Lagunitas brewery will change your life.

http://www.lagunitas.com/.

Look up their "Censored" Rich Copper Ale:



...and their Shutdown Underground...just get some.

Boulder Brewing Co.'s "Mojo IPA" is another fun one.

See you in a week. ;)

P.S. The Maximus is the best IPA I've ever tasted, and I live on IPAs.

10. I'll admit to filling out the brackets

Casino . . . never been to one
3 or more vehicles . . . one car and one bicycle, so two
Fast food . . . hell no
Beer . . . guilty as charged. Two bottles of a home-brew and a Sam Adams Oktoberfest that had been waiting in the fridge

[DiverDave]

11. My 11 year old son

so, your paintbrush just colored him a greedy, selfish goofball.

Nice try, but my 11 year old is just a kid wild about basketball.

[DainBramaged]

12. Excuse me jerkweed. I POSTED the information from NIELSEN with a LINK

because I found it interesting. Point your shit at them not me. Know who they are? The TeeVee survey and ratings people.

[DiverDave]

21. Jeez, CHILL

aint no reason for name calling.
I was just pointing out a group that may have been overlooked.

Oh, and I never thought to put you down, ever.

[WilmywoodNCparalegal]

13. Rabid NCAA fan here

Casino - hell no
Fast food - sometimes when I get off work late and I don't feel like cooking
Vehicles - only one, a Prius, that I share with my boyfriend. We commute to work together (we work in the same place)
Beer - none. I hardly drink and, if I do, it will be Heineken or Guinness.
Male - nope! I went to the 2nd Round games in Greensboro. Saw LSU-UNC and Texas-Duke. Cheered so loudly for LSU and Duke that I lost my voice for 2 whole days.

[TornadoTN]

14. 1 out of 4 here

I consume good beer, not that swill that is listed in this article, so I guess it could be 1/2 out of 4 for me! :)

[taterguy]

15. More stuff that's just made up

This isn't data about the general population.

It's information provided by people that have nothing better to do than fill-out some stupid survey.

I'm just glad that a lot of Bud Light drinkers have no life since I really enjoy some of the Bud Light ads.

[a la izquierda]

16. 1 of four

No casinos, fast food or three cars in my house. Just beer (and normally crap, because I'm a broke graduate student).
But, since my team is kicking butt thus far, and I have a little bracket pool with a bunch of friends (mostly female, all graduate students), I'll continue to drink my cheap beer and watch basketball. However, as I've gotten used to my TIVO, I ignore commercials, so the powers that (shouldn't)be can advertise all they want-I'm not paying attention.

Boomer Sooner! Beat Syracuse.

[MadHound]

17. NCAA fan here

And I fit none of those stats. I've never been in a casino, rarely eat fast food(usually only if I'm traveling somewhere), haven't had the time to consume beer lately, and when I do, it's the good stuff. As far as 3+ vehicles, well, OK, I'm guilty, I've got eight vehicles, but five of them are antique cars, one of them is my scooter that I ride, one is a truck and one is a daily driver.

[bobbert]

18. most NCAA fans are college students

the 10% higher gambling doesn't seem like a big deal, that's a small amount and I wonder if it's statistically significant based on their numbers

three cars? One for each parent and one for the kid who has to drive to college...

College students eat more fast food, heck I did but grew out of it once I graduated

College students drink more beer than most people.

I am not surprised by this at all.

[Fuzz]

19. Those percentages are rather low actually, so doesn't say much.

[LiberalFighter]

20. Fast food consumer during the season or year round?

[BlooInBloo]

23. ... having a damn good time watching streaming teevee right now.

[fishwax]

25. 1.5 out of four

Casino -- yes
3 cars -- no
Fast food -- no ... I eat fast food on occasion, but 10 or more times a week :wtf:
Beer -- yes in the last month, but I'm a beer snob, so no to all of those brands :)

[bigwillq]

26. Casino=yes

There's one an hour away in-state, and AC is not that far, either.

Only one car.
Fast food maybe once or twice a week depending on work.

Beer=yes.

[NeedleCast]

29. You say that like it's a bad thing

I'm assuming that by NCAA fan they're talking about College Hoops/March Madness and not a more general group of "anyone who likes college sports" although I fit into both.

I'm single, so I only have one car, and I don't eat much fast food outside of Baja Fresh (which is not so bad as your normal burger joints).

Still, I don't see anything wrong with any of the above. What a shocker that the top three beers consumed by "NCAA fans" are the top three selling beers in their catagories...
